Callanetics with Callan Pinckney

fabulous results

i first did this video in the 80's. I started it again recently, and wondered why I had ever stopped. it really pulls in the hips, thighs and stomach and people will remark on the fast change. It also gets RID of that ugly front of thigh flab that women get in their 40's, and it gets rid of it QUICKLY. Now that I have some muscle tone from working with weights, the results are in a way even better than they were when I was younger. I've done pilates and love it, but this is even better for making the body tighter (and stronger!), at least for me. The tape is old-fashioned and Callan's manner and looks seem dated,, but the workout is WORTH it. Get this. - posted by judith on 4/8/2008

An Oldie, but a Goody!

I own all of Callan Picnkey's old videos, but this one remains a favorite. The slow, gentle pace really makes your muscles work at their deepest level (especially the abdominals) and the “relaxation factor” is out of this world. By the end of the workout, I guarantee you’ll be feeling strong, flexible and refreshed. My ONLY complaint is that the on-screen counter is all over the place, sometimes going too fast on one side of the body and too slow on the other. I recommend beginning on a different side of the body each time you the workout (in order to deal with the uneven number of reps). Overall, though, the instruction is excellent, it’s easy to follow and the exercises REALLY deliver what they promise. - posted by Gretchen on 3/18/2008

Fast Results!

I have done this video about three times total so far, and can already feel results! My tummy seems a lot smaller too! - posted by Amy on 2/7/2008

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
